In the first episode of the explosive new Netflix documentary, Harry and Meghan, which documents their story and their relationship, Prince Harry, 38, is seen comparing his wife to his late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, detailing their similar attributes after explaining how he was terrified that she would be "driven away by the media" when they got together.
Keeping their relationship a secret for as long as possible was the key to their success, said Harry, and the couple married on Saturday, May 19, 2018 in a lavish and elegant ceremony in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. They share two children together Archie and Lilibet - who was named after the late Queen Elizabeth. In the documentary, Harry reflected on how his wife shares the same emotional warmth to his mother, who died in a car crash in August 1997.
He explained: "So much of what Meghan is and how she is is so similar to my mum. She has the same compassion, she has the same empathy, she has the same confidence, she has this warmth about her. I accept that there'll be people around the world who fundamentally disagree with what I've done and how I've done it, but I knew that I had to do everything I could to protect my family. Especially after what happened to my mum. I didn't want history to repeat itself."
